Re: 1938 NYC BOT document showing original plan for 76th Street as Elderts Lane

Just because the Gibbs Hi-Vs and LIRR MP41s were almost identical in appearance doesn’t mean that they were in any way similar in electrical or mechanical details. The Hi-Vs were GE equipped with a 12 point manual acceleration controller whereas the MP41s were WH equipped with a 3 point automatic acceleration controller very similar to the BRT el cars. I have no info as th whether the MP41s were Hi-V or Lo-V but I do know that the BRT el cars were Lo-V.
